Computers in the Library

The Labs
The Library has two computer labs, one on the second floor and one on the fourth floor. Each lab has Macintosh and
Windows computers and printing capabilities (see Computer Printing and Photocopying). The smaller second floor lab is for MUSC student use. The larger fourth floor lab
is open to MUSC students, staff and faculty during library staffed hours. Access to Library resources, the World Wide Web, and e-mail are
available in both labs. The Labs offer:

The Library has a SCANNX scanner on the 4th floor. One can scan applications, forms, multi-page documents, books, journals and single sheet documents.
One can print, email directly, save to a USB device, Smart Phone and Google Drive. Documents can be saved as PDFs, searchable PDFs, Word documents,
JPEGs, PNGs and TIFFs. The SCANNX features include flatbed scanner, automatic document feeder, book spine friendly design, USB port and eliminates curving one usualluy sees with conventional copiers,

Other programs are also available on selected computers. The lab operations
manager, LCTs, lab assistants, or staff at the service desks can help you locate
software that is available on a limited number of computers.

Reminder: To keep our computers functioning properly,
we ask that you not bring food or drinks into the lab.

Classrooms for Faculty
An important part of the Library's Informatics Lab is our computer classroom area on the fourth floor.
There are five classrooms, all dual Macintosh / Windows, that MUSC faculty may reserve for their classes.
Each classroom has a teaching workstation with a ceiling-mounted projector and between 24 and 28 student workstations. One smaller one has 12 workstations.

Classrooms for Students
Students may reserve classrooms in the evenings and on weekends to practice
presentations. Each classroom is equipped with a teaching computer and a projector.
Please note that curriculum classes take precedence: you
may be "bumped" from the classroom if it is needed for a class, or if special
preparation is required for early morning classes. However, these occurrences
should be rare, since 5 classrooms are available.

The computers in these classrooms may be used when classes are not in session.
Per students’ requests, one classroom, Room 436, is
designated a quiet area. Check the sign on the door for availability.

Getting Help
For assistance using the computers or any of the computer applications,
student lab assistants are available most hours. The lab operations manager
and library staff at the 4th floor service desk are also available to
assist you.
